Crochet question....?

Basically it means work the stitches and go around the project. When you get to the end of one row you will be told to slip stitch into the first stitch of that row. That or the next row will tell you to chain a certain amount of stitches and you will start the next row. Plainly you will be going around in circles.

Either means you are going in rounds or you are cutting at the end and starting over.

Back a century ago, the Victorians thought it tacky to turn the work at every round. I have read patterns that turned so there was no right side or back side. They would say for instance: slip stitch to first single, chain one, turn.

I have several afghan patterns that give explicit directions to leave a 6 inch tail crochet across, break off leaving a 6 inch tail, and go back to beginning again leaving a 6 inch tail and crochet across. This makes a front face only stitches with fringe on either side.

I crochet a lot, and have made many things, and have sold some of my items, although I'm no expert, I think, you dont turn your work, cause then that would be the wrong side.Not knowing what you are making, if you are working in rows, you would have to turn, if you are on rounds, then your work would most likely be always facing you. Hope this helped you some, good luck on your project. I'm making a baby outfit, booties, bonnet, and sweater, almost done with it.

Are these directions to "keep the right side of your work facing you" at the end of your project? (Are they the last row of your crochet piece?) If so, then these instructions are being given to create a "pie-crust" type of edge. I have done this a couple of times. It is confusing at first, until you get the hang of it.

If you have completed the row right BEFORE the instructions you noted, your crochet hook will be at the LEFT side of your piece (when right side is FACING YOU). This is the point from which you would begin the pie-crust edging. Insert your hook into the stitch to the RIGHT of the stitch your hook is in (from front to back), yarn over, bring hook back through (careful, it's a little complicated at first). With practice, you will be able to do this "reverse-type" crocheting. (Make the hook motion like the letter "J" when bringing it back through the stitch. This will bring the hook back up to the left of that stitch, having the yarn-over loop in front of the loop on the hook and the hook facing to your left. Then, complete the stitch (usually a single crochet) by yarning over the regular way and bringing this y-o through the two loops on the hook.

Then, continue in this manner, each time inserting the hook to the RIGHT, y-o, bringing hook back through in the "J" motion, y-o, draw through both loops on hook.

You will notice a pie-crust type of edge you are creating, with the yarn overlapping over the top of the row you are working on. (It's really neat looking once you can get the stitches all looking about the same size -- took me a few practice runs at it to get my first one done.)

If you are NOT talking about the last row of your project, but your instructions are as noted, then I would need you to list what the next steps are on the row the instructions are talking about.

But, yes, it is possible to crochet from left to right -- just takes a bit of practice.

(I just thought of something else -- are you crocheting in what is called an "afghan stitch" -- sometimes called Tunesia stitch? If so, then you would have multiple loops on your hook, similar to a knitting needle; and, keeping the right side facing you would indicate that you have completed the FIRST HALF of a row -- right to left -- and are now getting ready to complete the SECOND HALF of the row -- left to right. This is where you would be "working off" the loops by yarning over and drawing through two loops, then yarning over and drawing through the next two loops, etc., etc.. Again, without knowing what else your instructions are saying, I am not positive about my answer. But, these I discussed here are two suggestions as to what type of piece you are working on.)

God, I hate those terms, right and wrong side, they can be so confusing. The right side of the piece is the side you want outermost, the public side that is seen when worn or used, the wrong side is the side where you see the stranding or reverse of the pattern. I wish they would use public or reverse side terms.
